Among relational databases, we believe that MemSQL is the fastest, most efficient SQL database, with full linear scalability - unlike almost all competitors. We also handle both transactions and analytics in one database, as described here on G2.com, in the MemSQL review comments. 

Compared to NoSQL, MemSQL is at least as scalable, far more efficient with machine resources, and it supports SQL. MemSQL also supports data types, such as JSON and geospatial data, that may otherwise only be supported by NoSQL databases.
